Potency in the face of the crisis

 

EL MURO DE LA ESPERANZA BY PRECIADA AZANCOT - DETALLE

 

By Preciada Azancot

The current global economic crisis that has spread across the entire planet is not, contrary to what most politicians tell us, transitory. It will not only fail to pass or abate in the next seven years, rather it will deepen. And we may consider it to be the most severe and profound crisis to have occurred in the last two centuries, since it corresponds to the definitive collapse of the socio-political and economic system that has governed the developed world for these last two hundred years.

Indeed, following the collapse of the communist system and its lukewarm social aspirations, that revealed their ineffectiveness but that corresponded to human beings’ legitimate philosophies and needs, we are now witnessing the collapse of the liberal and capitalist system as a whole. And this is due to the most legitimate and inevitable of desires of the human being of the third millennium: to build a NEW HUMANISM at least as, if not more, profound than that the Renaissance was in its day. It is reasonable to say that this collapse of a decayed, unfair and outdated system, although it made very notable conquests is, despite being traumatic and painful, healthy and beneficial. The challenge lies in finding solutions and options that invoke the greatest possible unanimity, that do not cause unnecessary victims – and all victims are unnecessary – and that provide a revolutionary although pacific flourishing of the planet’s values, institutions and cultures. And we sincerely believe that MAT (www.mat21.net), science of the 21^st Century Leader offers them. Generously, and for everyone.

The human being of the third millennium, and the society that he builds, needs safety, not limited to basic material needs,  but rather to what is essential, in other words extending to self-knowledge and to the ability to diagnose the toxicity of others who could represent a threat to his integrity. He needs development, extending to the nourishing multiplication of options centred on the free motivation to recover the skills, talents and vocations of human beings and of the organisations that they create. He needs radical justice extended to mean leadership by the best, based on values capable of putting an end to social and gender inequalities. He needs status based on the appreciation and recognition of man and woman’s creating and transforming power, be it in art, science or the creation of new socio-political systems. He needs a sense of belonging which means a safe space in which each can be himself at the same time as favouring others being their true selves. He needs fulfilment because he searches for and finds truth in freedom and in peace among men. And since the old world is collapsing, at least let’s take advantage of the opportunity to build something better and longer-lasting.

MAT demonstrates (refer to the article “A safe investment”) that 98% of human beings have their backs turned on their true talent and vocation and function at 20% of their innate potential, in other words, the transforming energy that they had when they were a one-day old baby. And it shows how to recover these potentials in a pain-free, calm, pleasant and scientific manner. It proposes that we detect and recover the innate values on which to build the society of the future: A BIO-MANAGEMENT in the image and likeness of its highest potentials and internal values.  

 

 

FINDING TRUTH: THE PRECISE ART OF SPIRIT (II)

Preciada Azancot

Science is the essence of art and the quintessence of spirituality.

 

This way the world would be upright. However, when science is based on the belief or dogmatic prejudice that denies the value and the ferment of the certainty of finding truth, as the pure definition of spirituality, and devotes itself to found its false “status of intelligent mind” on denying transcendence as the only purpose of science, it becomes necrophilia. When art develops into a forward escape, cut out from its essential function that is finding the essence of being, creating and growing in the order of creation, that is perfect and of a overawing beauty, and it only shapes the helplessness of a world that rejects the genius because it fears him and directs at him its own schizophrenia separated from the value and the dignity of wanting to be what it IS and from the flowing of life, falls into a mercantilist mimicry and becomes a coarse and perishable, that not philosopher’s, stone. When deep spirituality is absent and it insists in calling God to archaic archetypical myths that fix the power to castrate and to subject the free spirit of human being, asking for incessant proofs and exiling plenitude to an empty heaven always drawing back, falling into obscurantism, into witchcraft that curses itself and into mysterious and hysteric magic that consecrates psychopaths. Then we can surely say that the society is really ill. Moreover, that human being is very lonely.

Since in this congress we look for and rescue the roots, we can find those of modern thought and western civilization in Socrates, father of art, in Plato, father of spirituality, and in Aristotle, father of science. And everything would have gone well if we had not moved away from the need to be authentic, free and have solidarity. Because we would have found the seven dimensions of human, their immediate purposes and their working laws, precise and beautiful, 25 centuries ago. Nevertheless, it is never late for a good start from a scientific vision of human complexity that opens up two universes to access more truth: the first, artistic, arising from science as its only essence that allows it to pass from artistic creation to the objective, measurable, transmittable and universal –so also scientific- world of full spirituality. This quantum leap in the evolution of human thought and analysis could be opened today by MAT, Metamodel of Transformational Analysis.

 

 

 

FINDING TRUTH: THE PRECISE ART OF SPIRIT

Preciada Azancot

Talking about the main function of rage, managing a sane body free of lies, as you know it always works in team with its complementary opposite: joy, which allows us to find more truth. I am going to give you, in consecutive parts, a personal contribution to very complex and so far very obscure issues.

When the spirit guides us, we cannot get lost, even with the most complex existential questions a human being can raise. When the existence or the value of spirit is negated, there is no possible light and everything becomes confused, disordered, unattainable, incoherent and with a irritating, if not soporific, formulation. However, the most difficult thing is finding naked truth. Truth has always been looked for following three ways: science, art and spirituality. Three separate and confronted ways that we try to join, reconcile and unify today. Nevertheless, this effort could have an equally frustrating result, since we forget that we are not elemental, but complex, and that we have seven dimensions, and not four as was always believed from Ancient Greeks until MAT arrival, and none of them can live outside truth, not to say confronted to it, in the lie.

We have half of our being –our inner masculine self- that needs to elevate and find more truth, and the other half –our inner feminine self- that needs to anchor in that truth till put it on flesh and so to elevate better, more forcefully and powerfully. It is in the confusion of each half among itself, and even more in the sexist, dogmatic and religious divorce between them, where almost every human misfortune are born.

 

 

 

WHAT IS RAGE GOOD FOR?

 

If rage was that feeling, so widely spread, of resentment, grudge, envy, spite and wish for others harm, it would be an abominable and pathetic emotion that should be definitively crossed off the list of usefulness. However, those despicable feelings are only, in MAT and in real life, false emotions that replace and usurp other healthy emotions. And, like any other thing in life, it is not because a usurper takes a precious word –such as “love” or “security”, or “plenitude”- to cheat its victim before burying the dagger in him that we should renounce to that word and leave it to him (cause that would be grudge). What we must do is cleaning it and giving it its original meaning, and prevent the swindler from using it to usurp our authentic feelings. And, to do that (to rescue and to clean them), we can only make use, among our innate energies –that, as anyone knows from MAT, are our AUTHENTIC EMOTIONS, the only valid energies to behave integrally and with integrity-, of authentic rage, the MAT defines as “our innate capacity to perceive lies, aggressions, manipulations (and other stinks that we “casually” perceive with the only sense related and linked to rage: smell) and to react to them”. And reacting well, with authentic rage, means in MAT to say immediately “Not this way!”, denouncing them, and “That’s the way!” to propose something better, healthier, more healing. That is precious. That is order in motion, ethics becoming living culture.

 

That is what rage is good for, because authentic rage is that and only that. Cause saying “Not this way!” without proposing immediately other values able to elevate and enlighten us more and better, able to break the chains that bind us to false rancid concepts, is plain demagogy, plain kicking, plain resentment. Worse than that, it is grudge and scorn for else’s intelligence: in short, it is political gossip. Therefore, it is destructive. And not only destructive, but contaminant with these unnatural feelings. We should not accept them, much the less support them, and even less to join them. Cause they leave us not only all alone, but impotent.

 

Since rage is the root and the basis of our power: the simple and grand dignity of being human. Or a healthy and gregarious animal, cause they also have authentic rage; what they do not have is creator pride to conceive values able to raise flat culture. When we do not use the authentic rage, we put ourselves below animals, so offending them as well –they trust us to guide and protect them.

 

False and unhealthy rage, when replaces and usurps other authentic emotions, has a first and family name. Let’s forget about family names, since they are many, but let’s pronounce its names: when it replaces fear to hurt, it is called hysteria and bluster; when it replaces sadness of losing something alive, it is resentment, bitterness and revanchism; when it replaces the pride of being and growing, it is frightful envy; when it replaces the love of giving oneself to good, it is grudge and slander; when it replaces the joy of flowing in peace and freedom, it is sacrilege and worship of the evil.

 

When rage is authentic and speaks for itself, it is spontaneity, justice and healing. It is living and active culture. And political gossip has to fade away in the presence of the civilizator.

 

Me, even loving politics –understood as vocation of service towards construction in justice and living culture-, have only seen a leader in this country making high politics and, in any case, justice, and always saying the “That’s the way!” after the “Not this way!”, a unique politician that is more than that (since he has a civilizing vocation) and is called Don Juan Carlos 1º, the King of Spain. And I wonder, not even being ideologically monarchic, why precisely now he and the unifying peace he represents, not only in Spain but also internationally, are being attacked.

 

We might perhaps find, in order to check ourselves a little, some intuition of answer in the functions of the healthy rage. And not only in the abilities that they confer us, but also in their ordinal sequence. We already know, with MAT, that the basic function of rage is JUSTICE, its elevated function is the Corporality and its transcendent function is the Astrality. Leaving aside the latter, that MAT defines as “the always present” –so that we avoid undesirable interlocutors such as sectarians, shamans and other illuminated and gurus that populate everywhere looking for “truth” only in falsehood-, we know that the abilities of the human structure that works with authentic rage, to which we call Vitalizator, are, in this order and sequence:

 

<!–[if !supportLists]–>- <!–[endif]–>To perceive with our senses, distribute and assign.

<!–[if !supportLists]–>- <!–[endif]–>To react, vitalize and cure.

<!–[if !supportLists]–>- <!–[endif]–>To feel.

<!–[if !supportLists]–>- <!–[endif]–>To mobilize.

<!–[if !supportLists]–>- <!–[endif]–>To denounce, attack, eradicate.

<!–[if !supportLists]–>- <!–[endif]–>To dilute and dissolve.

 

This way we attain more justice; higher, more vigorous and healthier values. Moreover, an enormous vitality that incites unanimity and feels like a clean smell. Smell of premonition of truth.

 

However, when the sequence is reversed to manipulate, cheat, usurp and lie, we get to this, very precise and verifiable:

 

<!–[if !supportLists]–>- <!–[endif]–>Dilutes responsibilities and dissolves truths.

<!–[if !supportLists]–>- <!–[endif]–>Denounces, attacks and eradicates healthy values.

<!–[if !supportLists]–>- <!–[endif]–>Mobilizes resentful and spiteful people.

<!–[if !supportLists]–>- <!–[endif]–>Feels and spreads those monstrous feelings and encourages them.

<!–[if !supportLists]–>- <!–[endif]–>Reacts and vitalizes the worst: very toxic anti-values that wake up lethal traumas.

<!–[if !supportLists]–>- <!–[endif]–>Perceives, distributes and assigns posts to its accomplices to take the power and attack the potency.

 

This way, people, instead of attaining –as with the first sequence, the healthy one- the pride of being better and growing, fall into the shame and the impotent depression of not having denounced this frightful behavior.

 

I let you debate with me, dear friends, on this topic, always a current issue in our planet and not less universal.

 

Yours forever,

 

Preciada Azancot.

MAT Creator.

 

 

 

 

 

MAT constitutes both a discovery and a creation. It is a fusion of art and science that can establish as the human science of XXI century.

It constitutes a revolution for every human science: psychology, sociology, management, politics, history, philosophy, medicine, metaphysics, etc.

 

MAT has been created by Preciada Azancot Medina. Preciada Azancot is an Organizational Engineer, a Doctor in Law, a Master in International Relations and Politics, a Transactional Analyst, a Management Consultant and the President of MAT21; she is also a painter and a writer.

 

 

MAT is the history of an early vocation. Being three years old, this girl asked herself: “What do people function the wrong way round for?” and then decided to dedicate all her life to answer that, her existential question. Every child has a question at that age that, not finding an answer around, becomes his existential question. The only merit of this girl is to have devoted her entire life, tenaciously, to respond that question.

 

 

Preciada is a Sephardic and belongs to an old and aristocratic family that, expelled from Spain in 1492, established in Morocco. She was born in Fez on March 25^th, 1943 and lived in Tangiers with her family until she was nineteen, when she got married and went to live to Rabat. She studied in French colleges and universities. She studied International Law and then two Masters, one in International Relations and the other on Politics, along with a Doctorate in Public International Law. With these studies, Preciada intended to find her answer at a global world scale. He did not find her answer there. So she went to Paris in 1973. There she became an Organizational Engineer and practiced in SERETES, the consulting firm of SERETE, French most important engineering firm. She tried to find her answer studying organizational behavior, but she did not find it there either. So she went to America and chose her father’s land, Venezuela, in 1976. There she invented her profession: Change Process Manager for enterprises and organizations, and began studying Psychology, because she finally understood that the answer should lie in the psychic foundations of people. After five years of study and therapy, she became a Transactional Analysis psychologist (Special Advanced Member of the Latin-American Association of Transactional Analysis). She did not find her answer here either. In the meantime, she worked as a consultant in the field she invented: change processes at important national Banks, with such an impressive and unbelievable results that she attracted the attention of Venezuelan Banking Association and of the consultancy firms working in the country. They asked her what methodology she used in order to achieve such a remarkable results. As Preciada answered that she applied Organizational Development and Transactional Analysis, they got angry, since they claimed to use the same tools and not getting her results. She continued studying and receiving therapy with Gestalt, Jungian Analysis, Bioenergetics, Biodance and Psychoanalysis. She did not find her answer, but her results were still unbelievable. Her consultant colleagues began reproaching her selfishness and secrecy, and that affected her deeply. Instead of studying medicine to look for an answer inside human organism, as she had decided, Preciada resolved study herself to determine what she made to achieve her results as a consultant. She found the answer in one year of self-observation. She shaped her methodology and called it MAT (Metamodel of Transformational Analysis). It was 1981. When she realized the magnitude of her discovery, since it was an exact science applicable to every human science and that revolutionized them all, Preciada got afraid and doubted; she eagerly looked for any possible mistake in her model, investigating on 60.000 cases and not communicating her discoveries to anybody, just in case she was wrong and was to make a fool of herself. She was her cruelest and most relentless enemy. In 1984 she went to Madrid, since she had decided that, if her discoveries were right, Spain should be the first country in the world to receive MAT. By 1986, she not only had not found a single case –either a person or organization– not following MAT laws, but, following her research, she found that MAT was applicable to every human creation: families, companies, organizations, countries and the whole planet. And, also and above all, she discovered, first in herself –since she was always her guinea pig–, and then in her students, that MAT allowed for personal and social growths never achieved before in human history, and that this growth was not random but followed precise universal laws. Meanwhile, she continued achieving astonishing results with her work at Spanish national and multinational companies. She decided to communicate MAT existence in 1987 and then she wrote three books. She founded the MAT Club of Managers at a domestic and almost clandestine scale, teaching MAT to some chosen ones among her own customers. She shyly tried to publish her books, but the few editors she approached answered the same: “This seems to be very important, but we publish books with one or two original ideas, not with two hundred ideas; we don’t have an editorial line for it”. So she archived the manuscripts while continuing her research to localize any possible error. She went on with her job, consulting, always getting incredible results, and with her second profession, painting in oils. She carried out seven individual expositions in Spain, and her painting –transformational expressionism– was also considered revolutionary. For two years, she was investigating at Princess Hospital in Madrid with a full-time dedication and she discovered the emotional causes of such important diseases as cardiopathy, cancer, pneumopathy, neuropathy, glandular diseases, obesity and anorexia, in very precise –and so treatable– dysfunctions in the use of emotions that MAT explains. Doctors who saw the results were enthusiastic, but Preciada could not convince them to study MAT as a medical matter, and not only psychological, and then desisted. Meanwhile, the most important papers and specialized magazines echoed MAT existence, but Preciada still avoided publicity.

 

 

In 1992, very irritated because Spain had refused to find the way to recover its plenitude and was frivolously celebrating the Fifth Centenary, she went for three years to Caracas, where the MAT Club of Managers was very successful, even though it was only spread by word of mouth, as she desired. In 1996 she came back to Spain and continued with her consulting work, always with the same results. By 2001, while she carried on her investigations, she had reached 120.000 cases without a single one not following MAT laws and principles. More importantly, her research took her to results that set a milestone in the history of the civilization of our planet.

 

Up until here goes the story; in 2003 her partners and she founded MAT21 and decided to publish the books and to diffuse MAT.

 

 

MAT –Metamodel of Transformational Analysis is a science that explains how do we function as human beings, and that can be applied to an individual person or to any organization created and formed by people: a family, a company, a nation…

MAT has been created by Preciada Azancot, and it is now brought to light after more than 20 years of researching and corroborating its scientific nature.

MAT answers the basic questions of life: what do we make, how, why do we make it, when, what for, where.

This way, it helps us to understand everything that has happened in our lives so far, and also what is happening to us now, everyday. It provides us with a more detailed self-knowledge than we never had before –or even thought it was possible– and from there shows us how to improve and grow. It helps us also to know the others, to better communicate with them and to establish more fruitful and gratifying relations.
